LPV and MCV emerge as recent additions to the Polyomaviridae family, capable of inducing important infections. Studies have suggested the presence of LPV in human populations, with potential involvement in central nervous system (CNS) diseases.

This study aimed to explore the prevalence of LPV and MCV in individuals with compromised immunity due to chronic viral infections.
